Olds 442 w30 nugget gold

I am currently working on a 4 speed, hard top, nugget gold w30. Does anyone happen to know the production numbers? I can find the production numbers of 4 speed hardtops in general but I would like to know how many in nugget gold were produced.

Thanks

The exact information you're looking for does not exist -- or is not publicly available.

But I can tell you that Nugget Gold was one of the four Olds special order paints in 1970, and that approximately 15% of the 1970 442s built were painted one of those fours colors.

I would guess that Rally Red was the most popular of the four special order colors, and maybe Nugget Gold was next. So maybe 3 - 5% of 1970 442s were Nugget Gold? But I could be wrong.

There seem to be a lot of Sebring Yellow. I would think more than Rally Red by my observation. However my view may be biased as my car was originally Sebring Yellow and I may me taking more notice of them.
